The Events Advisory Council (EAC) has
established the deadline for early consideration of room reservations for
activities scheduled for the 2013-2014 academic year as
March 15, 2013 (at 4:00pm).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with
the advisory council, the EAC sets policies and guidelines for the scheduling of
all activities.Each spring, the
advisory council reviews applications for and oversees the preparation of the
schedule of events for the following year.

Please
read the following information that provides for participation in the spring
early event reservation process.The
following summary of guidelines established by the Events Advisory Council is in
effect during the Spring Early Event Reservation Period.

The established priority system for
scheduling activities in the McFarland Student Union is as follows:

1.
Programs funded by the SGA through the Association of Campus Events, Student
Government Board or other SGB funded programming organizations.

2.
Programs sponsored by all other student organizations.

3.
Programs sponsored by university departments

4.Other
(Non-departmental, non-SGA funded, external events)

This Early Event
Reservation Process will review all requests for events scheduled from 8/12/13 –
5/17/14.All departments and
organizations wishing to register events for the 8/12/13 – 5/17/14 time period
(and in accordance with these priority systems) must submit such registration
requests no later than the 3/15/13deadline to the Office of Conference Services (Education House, ext.
31359).Events may be scheduled
anytime, but those received after the 3/15/13 deadline will be processed on a
first come, first served basis.

Making an early event
registration request:

Departments and organizations may submit early
event reservation requests for their events by using theVirtual EMS Room Reservation System – if you have any questions regarding
the Virtual EMS Room Reservation System please contact the Office of
Conference
Services.An early event
reservation request for a student organization must be submitted by that
organization’s advisor.In order to
participate in the early event reservation process, all student organizations
must be registered with the Office of Student Involvement through KUnited.

Only early event reservation requests
that give specific dates and times will be accepted for committee action.However, this requirement has been waived for interdepartmental events
such as major weekends, conferences, and special events for which it is
impractical to expect specific dates far in advance.

Organizations requesting such a waiver must submit
documentation justifying such waiver.Documentation should include tentative schedules, copies of past
schedules for similar events sponsored by the organization, and/or a statement
of intent identifying the University faculty or staff members who will be
responsible for implementing proposed plans.The waiver period would be in effect until 30 days prior to the beginning
date of the events.At that time
specific dates and times would have to be submitted.Failure to submit specific information could result in the events’
cancellation.

A reminder that classroom space can only
be “tentatively” reserved till after the drop/add process is completed for each
semester (at which time the reservation would be confirmed, if the classroom
space is not being used for classes).

The following information applies during both the Spring Event
Early Reservation Period and throughout the remainder of the academic year:

Event Cancellation:Sponsors who
cancel an event registered for a major facility without at least two weeks prior
notice or adequate justification to the advisory council will be subject to loss
of use of major campus facilities for the following semester.

All persons participating in the spring
early event reservation process are urged to submit only those events that they
are reasonably certain will occur.
Reserving rooms for events that have a high probability of being changed or
cancelled defeats the purpose of the early event reservation system and subjects
the sponsor to the penalties outlined above.

Appeals:This Advisory Council will hear all
appeals or concerns about these policies.Persons should appear before the Advisory Council for determination.

If you have any questions regarding the
early event registration process for 2013-2014 programs, please contact Terry
Sitler via telephone at extension 31359 or via email at
sitler@kutztown.edu.
